It's time once again to support your favorite open source project through our Free Vote-Based Advertising for Open Source Projects. We have merged the previous 1H 2012 ads into this post - the 1H ads were not placed in rotation which will be fixed ASAP.

Ad Requirements

It must be an advertisement soliciting the participation and contribution of programmers writing actual source code. This is not intended as a general purpose ad for consumer products which just happen to be open source. It's for finding programmers who will help contribute code or other programmery things (documentation, code review, bug fixes, etc.).

Your ad should be an original creation which has not previously appeared on Stack Overflow. Please do not resubmit entries that have appeared as ads on Stack Overflow in previous periods.

In order to work, the answers you post to this question must conform to the following rules.

Answer Template

[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]
[1]: http://image-url
[2]: http://clickthrough-url

Please do not add anything else to the body of the post. If you want to add any commentary, keep it in the comments.

Image requirements

The image that you create must be 220 pixels by 250 pixels

Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)

Must be GIF or PNG

No animated GIFs

Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB

Must have a 1px border if (part of) the background is white

The output, which ultimately will be served in an ad slot on Stack Overflow, can be previewed by clicking through to this URL:

Score Threshold

There is a minimum score threshold an answer must meet (currently 6) before it will be served up by that URL and shown on Stack Overflow. You can see all the ads that currently make the threshold and meet our criteria on this page:

Note:As with previous iterations of this program, if your ad has already appeared in a previous cycle, it is not eligible to be run in this cycle. However, if it did not make it through the previous cycle, it is eligible.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

If there's no terribly tight deadline, I might be able to make a banner design suggestion for an interesting project in need of one if you love hand-drawn illustrations as much as I do. :)

Sorry for the dumb question, but does ILSpy fit here? It's open source but for the life of me couldn't understand if it's "soliciting the participation and contribution of programmers writing actual source code" or not..

As a minor comment on the graphics, the small black text on darker blue is a little hard to read at the bottom. Perhaps the white you use for the Linux Journal award could be carried on to the rest of the text.

@Brad- I agree. Do you have any idea what I would do to submit a revised graphic without going through the whole process again? Thanks!

I don't understand what this project is. Consider adding a readme where you use complete sentences to describe what problem the project solves so that people clicking on the ad will learn what you're asking them to get involved in.

I think you mean "needed," to indicate that you're seeking developers and testers. With "need it," you're saying this is a tool that developers and testers should use. (And that may be true, but that's not the purpose of these ads.)

@RobKennedy, thanks for the advice, I chose the wrong word,I will edit the ads.

So basically the goal of this application is to expose just about everything inside a PE Executable in an easy-to-read form. For example, if you wanted to know what DLLs you needed to ship with your application, just fire up PE Deconstructor, open the application executable, and click the Imports tab (the latest code in the repo. doesn't have the capability to list imports). You can see an up-to-date screenshot of the application in action here.

Also, for those who are interested in contributing, the application is written in C++ using Qt and is specifically designed to run on any platform that Qt will compile on - that means this program behaves the same on Windows, Linux, Mac, even Symbian - just open the application up and take a look at the contents.

...and I now have a download for 64-bit Windows users (a 32-bit version and releases for other platforms should come shortly). You can get it here: box.com/s/06aa8a04a95602ad43e1

I know this isn't your typical dev tool (in fact, it's not a dev tool at all). As I read the rules, I think I'm okay to post any open source project that is actively looking for developers. If that's not the case, feel free to let me know.

This looks like an ad for the product instead of a call for involvement. You're attracting people who want to use the product instead of people who are looking to help create it.
–
Rob KennedyJan 8 '13 at 15:48

Hm, I think that's fair. I could see a better ad that said something like, "Help build web-based strategy guide software" or something along those lines. The ad does link to the GitHub page as opposed to the website.

Can someone fix the image for me please? I have no enough reputation to upload images, but I know that "A user with sufficient reputation will come along and look at your image, deem it acceptable, and add it to your post in-line."
